Lets play ball.

I had some great fun playing catch with Ruffin with one of his Kong balls yesterday and had the idea of trying to capture it with the camera. Jackie can't take pictures anymore so today I set up the Nikon D3200 on a tripod in Sports mode to use the high-speed shutter and the burst image mode to grab multiple images. My first tries seemed to work pretty good. And Ruffin managed to catch most of the balls.

This was the first attempt, and Ruff was a little too close. He almost landed on the camera.

The second try came out perfect.

On the third try the ball bounced off his nose and after he picked it up he ran away with it as if he was hurt and didn't want to play this game anymore.

Hey, he tries! That's what counts. Marco is a our expert catcher. He can catch anything from low to high. He loves to jump but I don't let him do to high anymore since he's getting older. He still goes for it though. Enjoy your lovely weather. : )

About Me

Having worked in the airline business for 40 years for two major airlines I retired over 15 years ago to my dream home in rural Kentucky. My life was changed in 2017 when Jacqueline, my wife of 56 years, passed away. Now I spend all my time enjoying the remainder of my retirement with my last two Rottweilers, Bess and Ruff. This blog is not about me, it is about the Rottweilers who stole my heart and have filled my life with their love. I plan to update this blog with future posts of our adventures but will begin, as all good stories do, at the beginning. The story began in 1995. You can follow it in the Blog Archive on the left with some of the pages I saved from my original web site.
